May 2015 TBR

May 2015 TBR

Even though I so enjoy being a free-range reader, I desperately need to organize my reading so I may successfully achieve some of the reading goals and challenges I have set for myself in 2015. To this end, I have decided to compose and follow monthly TBR lists with a determination to not stray from the prescribed reading; I may add to the list but I cannot detract from the list.

To that end, I will be reading the following books in May, in no particular order:

The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson This will fulfill #14 for Book Riot’s #ReadHarder Challenge: A National Book Award, Man Booker Prize, or Pulitzer Winner from the last decade. The Finkler Question won the Man Booker Prize in 2010.

Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. This will be my first Austen and I am so looking forward to it.

Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout. This will fulfill #3 for Book Riot’s #ReadHarder Challenge: A collection of short stories (either by one person or an anthology by many people).

The Well of Ascension by Brandon Anderson. Because of a severe reading slump, I am playing catch up for #YearofCosmere.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I am reading this classic because I am ashamed I have never read it before.
